Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 17 Hustle and Relief
are you awake?The surgery was a success, you are already a girl... ヽ(^^*)ノ

Well, the above is noise from other channels, please ignore it.

Calvin, who was separated from the spiritual world, woke up in the vows and spiritual resonance of those predecessors, and the aftertaste of these wills still remained in his eyes that had just been opened.The will to face the landslide without changing his expression and to live to death made his eyes look calm and seductive.

Under the metal pedestal, he tried his best to finish the words of the previous 1000 years at once, and even the representative of the Tribunal in Terra was pulled over by him urgently, just to wipe Calvin's ass Aidan.Originally, I thought that when this kid woke up, he would give him a taste of what he said.

But the moment he saw this look, he smiled with some relief.Some things don't need to be explained or even communicated. A look is actually enough.

Without another word of nonsense, Aidan turned around and walked out.He turned his back to Calvin who had just woken up and waved his hands:

"Get up quickly if you are not dead, pack your luggage, and go home."

Calvin, who had just fully awakened, heard this sentence and grabbed the device interface connected to his body and jumped down.After a few steps, he followed Aidan's pace.

"You don't ask me the result?" Calvin was a little curious.

"The results are all written on your face, so why ask?" Aidan said angrily.

What he didn't say was that before Calvin woke up, under the supervision of Inquisition representatives, from the Custodians to the Sisters of Silence, he had been turned inside out several times.

In the latest document claiming that the alarm was mis-triggered and the new equipment experiment accident, the information about Calvin on the last page has been detailed to the origin of his underwear.But it's a pity that those who have the authority to view it, it is estimated that the entire Terra is less than one hand.

"Ah, that's right. And veteran, you just said that you were so nasty when you came home. Where is our house? Is the food good? What level is the standard?"

"…………roll!"

The two walked out one after the other, and the latter continued to say casually:

"Look at you, it's not okay to treat recruits so roughly. When I was a soldier in my previous life, my instructors advised me a lot. What recruits are very fragile inside, you have to give them time to change..."

The former froze when he heard it: "You still have a previous life? Then why are you pretending to be young with me..." At this moment, the shoulders of the latter who were slightly stiff after finishing speaking completely relaxed.

"You can't calculate like this. I don't have the final say on my biological age in this life. Besides, I don't think I can live as long as you in my two lifetimes combined..."

The figures of the two strong men left the hall like this, getting further and further away.

I left these devices and a few unconscious servants behind, and I don't know how many years the next person who comes here will have to wait...

Outside Terra's atmosphere, the Thunderhawk assault craft responding to Aidan's call jumped off the deck of the cruiser strike ship on standby in orbit, and flew straight to Terra's palace area.

On the tarmac in the palace area, unlike the solemnity when they came, there were only Aidan and Calvin with their bags on their backs.

The two didn't have to wait long, and Lei Ying, who had obtained the permission to go on record, arrived at the apron in less than 10 minutes.

The two walked into the hatch that opened behind Leiying, found seats, and sat face to face.Calvin asked Aidan while looking at the rapidly receding horizon in the observation hole:

"How long have you been in the service, veteran? What's your rank? What should I call you, sir?"

After sitting down, Aidan checked the fastening equipment and emergency escape device according to his habit before replying:
"First, you are not even a recruit right now, you are just a student and a chosen one; second, there are still two difficulties waiting for you ahead, one is the reform surgery, and the other is the recruit trial."

Aidan stared at the young man in front of him.He gave Calvin an ardent hope.He knew that as long as this young man with special background and talent could pass the test, he would definitely be one of the most promising people in the Gray Knights since the army was founded.

But the more so, the more it was necessary for him to make Calvin understand the difficulty of the test he was about to face.

Aidan never wanted such a beautiful young eagle to perish before its first flight due to mistakes like carelessness or lack of preparation.

"Everyone is the Emperor's coin and we must treasure him"

After thinking for a while, Aidan solemnly said:

"Don't take any light on the test you will face. The mortality rate of remodeling surgery has never been low. Anyone who is not strong enough to survive, or the unfortunate person who is strong enough but whose body cannot match the genetic modification will die during the operation. There is a proverb in ancient Terra that says that in the sky during the stormy season, the young eagle that can really soar will only be the one that fears the sky the most. I hope I won’t see your name in the death list of surgery. Do you understand? ?”

"And after this is over, you will have to face a more difficult test of willpower. What awaits you is an even more cruel selection. Only if you can pass both of these tests, can I see you at the recruit welcome ceremony. At that time, You are qualified, call me a mentor."

When Calvin heard this, he also put away his loose behavior.He sat upright, facing Aidan with a serious face, and solemnly told Aidan with an unprecedented and first oath in the name of the Emperor:

"On the throne, I swear, you will be able to see me at the welcome ceremony!"

As soon as the words fell, Calvin's whole person relaxed again...

"It's really..." Aidan looked at the energetic young man in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and gave up the idea of ​​persuasion.

He could also see that, unlike those real recruits, Calvin's relaxation was the unique state of veterans before the battle.

That's fine, being tense is never a permanent thing.Adrenaline should be reserved for the real battle when it is the most efficient method.

Moreover, there is not much time left for the young man in front of him to relax.

Once Calvin can pass the test and really join this army, he will never have the chance to relax his vigilance and enjoy the leisure time like ordinary people.

As a veteran who has served for nearly a thousand years, Aidan clearly knows that in that legendary army, vigilance around the clock, even the state of dormancy where the left and right brain take turns to rest is the basic requirement for every soldier.

Let the young man before him relax as long as he can, for this will be his last happy time in the mortal state, if he does not die in the trial.

While the two were talking, Thunderhawk quickly and quietly flew into the hangar of the cruiser.

When the hangar gates were closed, the cruiser didn't stay too long. After briefly sending a signal to the star node to request access, the engine of the Gray Knight strike cruiser started to work.

Take the two of them to their next goal-Titan Six.

On November 11st, Terra time, after a whole day of chaos, the starry sky finally returned to calm.
